Wait! wondering what the mpg's are on 151?
Kind of a waste of perfectly good booze isn't it? I think I'd walk first, or stagger as the case may be!

It's not a food type corn but it does take up space edible crops could use.

$4.15 in Calais, $4.10 in Princeton.

3.77 to 3.84 around SE Texas and we are in the middle of the largest refining complexes in America. I'll be finding out Maine's prices in July and August.

$4.03 in Waldoboro this morning. Most other places are $3.97-$3.99.

The corn used for ethanol production isn't the sweet corn that we would buy in the store, but it is used in a wide variety of food products via corn syrup, corn sweetener, starch, corn oil, and other products. Also, it is the major component of feed for beef, hog, chicken, and other meat animals, and animal feed in general has almost doubled in price in the last two years.
